the idea is to write a comprehensive xmonad configuration tutorial, oriented for programmers not familiar with haskell. in any case I'm not familiar with haskell myself so I need a lot more research yet.

if it goes well I'll probably keep writing since I want to do it in a more formal way but before all that I want to finish my website, that's something I had pending for quite a while and I really want to get over it, that's why it might take a while yet for me to contact you :P

Now, maybe JBoss and IIS capture your imagination, but they don't do much for most of us here.

Me either.

Regardless, the presence of some people interested what grauenwolf is looking for is evidence that reddit is not the wrong place to look for it. It's not like he's asking for a majority of redditors to submit articles.

Perhaps your "unpopular" opinions wouldn't be downmodded if you phrased them coherently, and attached them to relevant articles?

For example, this article isn't really the place to complain about agile. I'm sure you could get away with it, though, if you pretended there was a connection. "I'm not sure I would want to write for InfoQ because their treatment of agile is more like a religion than actual advice," or something might have worked.

Anyway, Reddit already has too many comments, so unless you're really sure that something is worth reading, try to refrain from posting it. Then you don't get downmodded, then I don't have to waste my time telling you how to avoid being downmodded :)

I looked at your comments, and you're mostly right, actually. However, you did get a large number of upmods for those comments. Some of the (few) ones that were downmodded ended up being unnecessarily argumentative or confrontational. That, or you were complaining about the voting.
